Chapter 440 That's the good thing about being a leader
"Why so many 'what ifs'? I'm going to sing 'Time Thief'!" Lin Yourong raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing a stubbornness and determination.
Looking at her like this, Yu Huan felt a touch of emotion and quickly replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, sing whatever you want. Even if you just hum a little tune, it will be heavenly music, and I guarantee the audience will be clicking the voting buttons loudly."
Lin Yourong gave a coquettish "humph" through her nose, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to get up early tomorrow morning to put up the Spring Festival couplets?"
"We'll put it up on New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. My dad and I have already discussed it and we'll go back home for a late-night snack on New Year's Eve." Yu Huan tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and then explained, "My dad has five sisters, and they'll all be having a reunion dinner at my third uncle's house tonight. There aren't enough seats at the table, and it'll be too crowded, so we won't be going."
"Really? I'll do whatever you say~" Lin Yourong hugged Yu Huan's arm.
The two strolled slowly along the street, the streetlights casting a dim yellow light that stretched their shadows long.
The next day.
It was the last working day before the holiday.
Yu Huan slept for less than seven hours, but it was as if she had been injected with a powerful stimulant. She was full of energy and enthusiasm, and before eight o'clock, she strode into the new media department's workspace.
He expertly pressed the switch at the main control panel, and in an instant, bright lights pierced the darkness, illuminating every corner.
Immediately afterwards, he walked straight to his office.
The reason he arrived so early was partly because he had to rush to the broadcasting center in the afternoon to record "Day Day Up". He needed to arrange his work properly in advance to ensure that the department could continue to operate smoothly when he was not at the office.
On the other hand, it's for a New Year's special.
As a popular figure at the Jiangnan Morning Post, "Brother Leader" was given an important task at the turn of the year: to appear on camera and record a New Year's greeting video.
Therefore, he specially applied some mousse to his hair this morning, looked at himself from left to right in the mirror, and tidied himself up carefully.
The agreed-upon shooting time with Chen Xi was 8:30.
Yu Huan walked into the office and quickly tidied up the messy documents on the table. She hadn't packed them up when she left yesterday so as not to keep her father and younger brother waiting.
Documents that need to be properly stored were locked away in the cabinet one by one.
The materials used daily are neatly and orderly placed in drawers, categorized by type.
In the blink of an eye, the previously messy desktop became much neater and tidier.
After tidying up his desk, he sat down, turned on his computer, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard as he focused intently on browsing the trending topics about "I Am a Singer" on Weibo.
The show was recorded just last night, and the speed at which it spread online is astonishing. Not only was the song list leaked, but even the contestants' rankings were revealed by netizens with all sorts of ingenuity.
However, there are also many people who are just trying to have fun, deliberately confusing the public by starting with a picture and then making up all the details.
Yu Huan even suspected that Hunan TV, seeing that it couldn't prevent the leaks, deliberately stirred up trouble.
He thought for a moment, and a marketing account that had made a fairly accurate revelation last time immediately came to mind.
Then, I entered 'All-Star Detective' into the search bar, clicked the mouse, and entered the homepage of the marketing account.
The first Weibo post that catches the eye was published at around 1 a.m.
The comment section had over four hundred messages, all quite brief: 'Although "Time Thief" is indeed a good song! But why didn't Lin Su sing "The Wind Rises"?! I really love this song!'
Yu Huan's gaze continued to scroll down, and the second Weibo post was a leak about the contestants' rankings, published at midnight.
As for the song list information, it was already circulating online yesterday afternoon after the rehearsal...
With a touch of curiosity, Yu Huan clicked on the comments section of the first Weibo post to examine it closely:
'Kindergarten Queen: On set, while "Time Thief" wasn't exactly a high-energy song, the moment Lin Su opened her mouth, the atmosphere was electric. It felt like the whole air went quiet as she sang, and she even moved many people to tears. Definitely not a plant! You'll see how amazing it is when the show officially airs! [doge emoji]'
Yu Huan's gaze lingered on this comment for a long time, imagining Lin Yourong's affectionate appearance on stage, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up...
He scrolled down the mouse wheel, following the popular comments arranged by the number of likes.
A skeptical comment suddenly caught my eye: 'If you don't understand, ask away, does Lin Su have connections? The song she chose doesn't seem that difficult, how did she get second place?'
Yu Huan hesitated for a moment, then quickly tapped into the sub-floor to view the details.
The "Kindergarten Queen" who was present at the event previously responded with high praise: "If you were there, you would know that Lin Su's emotional interpretation of the song and her stage presence were outstanding. Singing isn't just about high notes; the audience votes were based on genuine emotion. Don't just spout nonsense about behind-the-scenes manipulation; it's pointless."
Scrolling down further, you'll find many team-building activities featuring saplings.
No wonder this Weibo post garnered over four hundred comments.
Yu Huan quickly browsed through the list, her gaze suddenly drawn to a username that was all too familiar—
'A girl who loves Su Su.'
Good grief, this woman actually said at 3 AM, "My Susu just randomly picked a song of average difficulty and still got second place. That's called skill. Aren't you angry?"
Upon seeing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head.
I thought to myself, this woman is really pushing herself. She stayed up late for several nights in a row, passionately talking online, and still had to work hard during the day. Won't she die from overworking like this?
But then I thought, he's a young man in his early twenties, he should be able to handle it.
Yu Huan browsed the comments section for a while, then closed the browser.
Then I opened my office software, created a new document, and started listing my work schedule for the day with my fingers tapping lightly on the keyboard.
Fortunately, everyone in the department has their own responsibilities and is highly capable. As long as he assigns tasks in advance and lets Chen Yaoyao coordinate, the work rhythm won't fall into chaos even if he's not there.
The work assignment was made in duplicate, with largely the same content, differing only slightly in some details.
One copy was sent to Chen Yaoyao, and the other was presented to Lao Li.
He had received approval from his father-in-law to temporarily leave his post to record a program, so the year-end work meeting would have to be chaired by Lao Li.
Although Lao Li rarely gets involved in the specific affairs of the new media department and is a true hands-off manager, he has been working in management for many years, so his qualifications and experience are undeniable.
Judging from his calculations, even with just a simple outline, he could easily go on stage and talk for half an hour. Giving a meeting to subordinates was just a piece of cake for Lao Li. After finishing his work, Yu Huan subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall.
The hour and minute hands were approaching 8:30, and Chen Xi should have arrived by now.
Just as I was pondering this, a soft knock came from the door, "knock knock knock," the sound was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet office.
"Please come in." Yu Huan looked up at the sound and responded loudly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Xi pushed open the door, carrying photography equipment in one hand.
He didn't walk in directly, but stood at the door with a warm smile on his face and said, "Brother Yu, when did you come to the office? I thought you weren't here. I sat for a while until 8:30, and then I tried knocking on the door."
"Around eight o'clock, I guess." Yu Huan quickly stood up, smoothed her clothes with her hands, and replied with a smile, "There's a lot to do today, thank you for coming to the office so early. We'll go record the video now, so as not to delay the rest of the work."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work!" Chen Xi shook his head like a rattle drum. "If I'm filming a New Year's greeting video for Brother Yu, then I definitely have to be on my best."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan smiled in response.
Then, the two walked out of the office one after the other and headed towards the recording venue that had already been set up.
In a corner of the workspace, a large, bright red "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) character is neatly displayed on the background wall.
On either side of the character "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune), two long strings of small red lanterns shaped like persimmons are hung symmetrically, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
This is the recording venue that Chen Yaoyao specially set up a few days ago, and she clearly put a lot of thought into it.
Yu Huan walked slowly to the designated spot, first standing still, then tilting his head back to clear his throat and get into the right mindset.
Chen Xi was adjusting the equipment on the side.
During this brief break, five or six bees who had arrived at the office early gathered around to watch the excitement.
Chen Yaoyao rested her chin on her hand, thoughtfully observing Yu Huan, and said, "Why do I feel like Brother Yu looks a little different today?"
"Brother Yu got a new hairstyle today! Didn't you notice?" Zheng Yu said with a smile, her eyes almost squinting into slits.
"I've noticed!" Chen Yaoyao said hurriedly, "It's not just that her hairstyle has become more refined, but she looks exceptionally neat and energetic, quite different from her usual casual self."
“Brother Yu, if I’m not mistaken,” Xiang Xinyi said, her eyes wide as if afraid of missing any detail, pointing to Yu Huan’s feet, “those shiny leather shoes you’re wearing, they must be Gucci, right? Wearing those shoes, paired with your styled hair, wow, you look so handsome!”
Surrounded by everyone praising him, he coughed slightly and said, "These leather shoes were bought by my wife."
"Wow! Gucci is a luxury brand, right?" Wei Quan perked up immediately upon hearing this, raising his thick eyebrows. "Then your sister-in-law is a rich woman!"
Zheng Yu slapped her hands together with a loud "smack," her voice suddenly rising several octaves: "I knew Aunt Yu was no ordinary person! Although I saw her wearing a mask both times, her demeanor and her presence were simply amazing!"
Chen Yaoyao nodded vigorously, echoing, "That's right, that's right. Your skin and figure are amazing. You can tell she takes great care of herself and exercises regularly."
Hearing his wife being praised so highly, Yu Huan couldn't help but smile.
Amidst the chatter, Chen Xi finished adjusting the equipment and called out to Yu Huan, "Brother Yu, the equipment here is all ready, we can begin."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Yu Huan's expression turned serious.
First, she raised her hand and carefully straightened her collar to ensure that her clothes were neat and presentable. Then she took a deep breath, faced the camera, and a warm smile instantly appeared on her face.
You should know that this New Year's special is a task assigned by the higher-ups, not just an ordinary blessing video recorded casually for the official account's fans.
From word choice and phrasing to logical expression, everything was carefully considered and repeatedly revised by Li Xiaoyu.
He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his eyes sincere, and his voice steady, powerful, and full of enthusiasm as he spoke:
"Hello everyone! I am Yu Huan, acting deputy director of the New Media Department of Jiangnan Morning Post. At this wonderful moment of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new, first of all, please allow me, on behalf of all the staff of Jiangnan Morning Post, to extend our most heartfelt thanks and sincerest blessings to the leaders at all levels and our readers who have cared for and supported Jiangnan Morning Post over the years..."
"Looking back on the past year, Jiangnan Morning Post has always adhered to the original aspiration of journalists, braving wind and rain, shuttling through the streets and alleys, and recording the pulse of the times..."
"We focus on all aspects of people's lives; wherever there are difficulties and demands, there are reporters from Jiangnan Morning Post..."
"We continuously innovate and break through, moving from traditional print media to a diversified media matrix, launching a series of in-depth and engaging special reports..."
"We are determined to use the power of news to illuminate every corner of life..."
Finally, I wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year, a happy family, and all the best!
For nearly two minutes, Yu Huan spoke quickly and steadily, uttering the last word in one breath with perfect accuracy.
A confident and friendly smile remained on his face throughout, and he finally bowed slightly to the camera as a sign of respect.
Chen Xi pressed the stop button and immediately gave Yu Huan an 'OK' sign, his tone full of admiration and praise: "Brother Yu, you really are amazing! This is incredible! You did it almost flawlessly in one take."
"What do you mean by almost no mistakes? It's practically flawless!" Xiang Xinyi boasted without batting an eye, and led the applause.
Wang Zhi, who had just arrived at the office and hadn't even had a chance to find out what was going on, was drawn in by the commotion and quickly joined the applause.
He clapped rhythmically and nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Brother Yu, you're amazing!"
For a moment, enthusiastic applause rose and fell in the workshop, lasting for a long time.
Yu Huan raised her hand and gently pressed down. Seeing that it had quieted down a bit, she said with a smile, "Everyone is too kind. I have to thank Chen Yaoyao for setting up the venue so well, and Li Xiaoyu for writing such a great script. Plus, Chen Xi's filming skills are superb. I was just reading from the script and going through the motions."
He knew perfectly well that this was the good thing about being a leader.
At work, I'm treated like royalty; even a fart I accidentally let out smells sweet.
After humbly responding to everyone's praise, Yu Huan exchanged a few more pleasantries with Chen Yaoyao and Chen Xi, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.
